Sharpes Express are one of our heitage seed potatoes. Sharpes were first added to the national potato variety list in 1901 and have been going strong ever since.

Sharpes Express tubers are long and oval.

A white skinned variety with pale lemon coloured flesh with a high dry matter content makes for a great potato in the kitchen with great all-round use.

Sharpes Express has a fine flavour and is suited to boiling-roasting and chipping.

Sharpes has good resistance to common scab and tuber have shallow eyes.

When I was a small boy we would wait for tv gardener Percy Thrower to come on and plant his Sharpes Express which we supplied him with every year. It was a real thrill.
